DIY video summit

The boundaries of the media industry is melting all around us. In the old days, you could define precisely who is a filmmaker or a journalist, now anyone can be self-appointed member of the media industry.

Reflecting this seismic shift, the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts has organized a 24/7 – a DIY Video Summit.

Speakers and participants transcend industry silos. This new breed of DIY filmmakers include academics, activists, installation artists and tech geeks. For them, video is often a means towards some other end, rather than an end in itself.
